>>11658048No surprise, I got my Yamcha and Tien for ~150 ea incl shipping and middleman fees.
>>11658049the main character spam makes getting into the line harder when many of the characters you want are $150+ because they were only produced 5 years ago
>>11657734I'm pretty sure the 2 Super Goku is related to an announcement at the January event. When they spam stuff in consecutive months like that it's usually cause they're promoting something. Like the Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Gohan for Super Hero, all budget general releases. It's just not obvious right now cause we haven't seen the announcement.
>>11658063at least these were all different characters lmao
>>11658060Most lines also dont reinvent the entire articulation system multiple times. We'd probably have everything by now if we just stuck with 1.0 bodies.

>>11656605Excellent detailing!>>11656562I need to invest in a better background if my pictures are going to keep getting used in the OP
Not gunpla but I don't know many other boards or generals that would reliably have many people with this figure: is the GMS Char Aznable very good? Screw holes aside, it's cheap enough but I don't know whether it'd be satisfying.
>AK pre-order Bootlegers win again >Titan blueWas that even a thing in the show for hi Zack?
Does a gunpla advent calendar exist?
Merry Christmas!

>>11657061Bea is for feet actuallyHere's hoping if they do make a Bea figure, they give her articulated toes, like the revoltech Juri>>11657055I'm really hoping they do. A Red to accompany Charizard or Dawn to pair with Piplup (or the inevitable Empoleon)I just they're not limited in articulation, especially the female trainers with their skirts.
>>11658028Poseable trainers would be pretty good, yeah. I'd actually like, of all characters, Allister to get a figure. I really like his design, especially the mask.
>>11658031It would be cool if they made his mask removable too.
>>11658028She's butt, feet and fit. the only Fighting type Leader I want. She has the cutest face too.
>>11658050>She's butt, feet and fit.you got that right, I love her so much, though her feet is what gets me going.>She has the cutest face too.Maybe it's asking for too much, but it would be cool if they made her a figure and gave her various expressions. or at least 2. One with her neutral face and another with a smile.
I see they now branch into Bayverse too, I saw many Transformers G1 AMK Mini Series figures at my local store, are they good? I might get them. I like that they are cheap and wonder if the quality is good.
>>11657895They should've go with a darker color plastic for that Megatron. It looks unfinished in that picture.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsOpc8arvxY&feature=youtu.beBig if true?
>>11651017Stop clogging the catalog with this garbage
>>11651017
>>11651120Have you ever seen the barbie doll version of the karen carpenter story?
I have no idea how they sold in the first place considering how ugly they look like. Same with labubu shit. Anime figs look infinitely better.
>>11654526They're (usually) inexpensive bobbleheads of characters from EVERY FUCKING FRANCHISE UNDER THE SUN. For a few things, a Funko Pop is the only thing close to a toy they've ever gotten.I have more contempt for the things than most people, but I will concede this point- the non-standard ones don't look half as bad as the rest.If they don't have a normal face, or if they have a helmet, they're a lot more tolerable for not having those gigantic dead eyes.
old >>11631000Years winding down, exited for anything next year? Myself I'm looking forward to FT devy.
>>11657971>>11657912I would think Red Alert would be it's own mold category since his arm doors probably requires different engineering.It's probably going to be:>Sideswipe>Tigertrack>SG Sideswipe>G2 SideswipeThen:>Red Alert>ClampDown>SG Red Alert (idk if this exists)>???
Ordered myself a pair of Ocular Max MP-alikes. Specifically Helion (Cliffjumper) and Azalea (Arcee). Helion is the closest we're ever getting to an MP Cliffjumper that fits with the older Hasui style, and Azalea just looks fun. Anyone here have 'em? Anything I should know?
>>11657967And this one
It always disappointed me how the T30 color scheme never seemed to be on the table for Arcee repaints. I really like the way the black breaks up the color scheme.
>>11658020I agree, the T30 scheme is nice. Always reminds me of the Delta Runner 5 from Power Rangers SPD actually.Honestly a police Arcee would be cool, especially if she had a tiny bit of pink still on her (like this).
Why doesn't Hasbro remake this? This was so goatedPower of the Force is peak toy line, best star wars line ever made. Like, Mcfarlane remade Super Power collection so why not?
>>11657087The '95 relaunch of Star Wars figures was huge. Did they really gloss over that shit?
>>11657087>>11657130The Toys That Made Us was entertaining, but really surface level, which is probably due to the run time more than anything. Figure lines like Star Wars or MOTU or TMNT need full length documentary movies to really get where they need to go, or maybe a mini series. First episode on the origins of the toy line, second episode covering Empire and Jedi and Kenner's massive growth, third episode on the fall and rebirth with POTF 1 and 2, forth episode on Episode 1, fifth on AOTC and ROTS, and then maybe a final on Black series and Star Wars moving into 6 inch.
>>11657137>and then maybe a final on Black seriesFuck Black series. I wouldn't want them to skip some of the most interesting eras for Star Wars collecting. Really, the lines between movies like POTJ and OTC were interesting just because they kept the line alive even without a movie to push sales (and VOTC was when they started to accept that a collector's market existed), and could probably be included with each prequel episode, but no way in hell would I want them skipping the 2006-2012 era when they made leaps forward in articulation, design and sculpting, dug deep into EU, and made the big ass Millenium Falcon and AT-AT without needing to beg for the money upfront. Most importantly they kicked off TVC. Oh, and Clone Wars. I didn't like the line except for the vehicles, but it was pretty important.
>>11657087I mean, fine. POTF2 is generational at this point. The figures and sets resonate with a certain group of people, I’m fine with dipshit zoomers or older collectors not giving a fuck and keeping them cheap.
>>11657130NTA but yesIt's been a while since I watched it but they made it sound like POTF2 came out after TPM which is total bs
What exactly is their strategy here? Are they purposely trying to tank themselves? Will they even exist in 5 years?
>>11655712new CEO?
>>11657008>Hasbro is struggling>they want to get into games without making games>they are licensing off their toy brands>they're pretty much being carriedby cheap cardstock cards sold expensive>meanwhile at Hasbro:
>>11657008Goldner died years ago and had nothing to do with this. Cocks has been in charge since then. He's just an incompetent retard.
>>11657340Yeah, i know Goldner died, who wanted to turn Hasbro into the next Disney.I know that the next CEO started doing away with that and wanted to shift to gaming.... so why the shift AWAY from gaming now? CEOs tend to want to do their own thing, to prove themselves to stockholders and memembers of the board, instead of staying on the path... even if the previous path was profitable.
>>11657528he still wants to shift to gaming, he's just too retarded to do it
Post action figures you used to fetishize as a kid
>>11656607jesus christ dude you read me like an open book
>>11654412Takes me back, picrel was my self-insert toy for adventures as a kid
>>11654408This one here. She had that whole dominatrix feel to her, and she still stands out when mixed in with other figures of the age. I didn't have any female action figures before her, and she was literally my first one not because someone dropped it on me but because I sought it.
>>11656640I miss those days.
>>11657646Omg, yes! I totally did and I never even had any... But for me the absolute top was picrel. I never had him either, but once I held it in my hand in a toy store until my mom made me put it back...
Has anyone else noticed that Chinese toymakers are basically putting out the best products in the boutique/high-end toy-space right now?>SexyIce muscled into TEST/Sentinel's space with a more active release schedule and better value.>Hiya muscling into SHMA's space, same as above>JoyToy dominating 1:18 scale and Warhammer franchise>INart and LPZZ dominating the high-end DC comics/live action spaceThose are just the ones I'm most familiar with due to my own collection, but I'm sure there's abunch more I'm not mentioning, there's a ton of 3rd party options in the DBZ and Transformers scenes that rival or surpass the "official" lines.
I just got yolopark amkpro tf1 megatron, loving it
>>11656348Very nice toy and wholesome post, anon
>>11656348I loved Where's Wally (or Waldo for Amerifrens) as a kid. I'm not sure if I'd buy that but he does look really good.
>>11657876Not ChineseThe producers will go into autistic detail about how Hong Kong isn't China.>>11657632terrible idea. we don't need a general for everything. 4chan isn't a 1999 message board.>>11657444>you're a chinese shillI've been here since day 1 of /toy/, so if the board is turning into an electronics store no one visits anymore because it only carries nobrand chinkshit, it would have fallen apart way back in the day. I think most of the problems with the community nowadays is that a lot of people here don't even own toys from the threads they post in. And i bet you're one.

>>11657437It's usually the TV sized version, ultimate Seiten set plays the TV sized version of Almighty.
>>11657212I decided to grab oneThe only real thing I worry about now is that neck piece paint rub
>>11657614I really wouldn't worry about it rubbing unless you go crazy with the neck it should be fine. Now it discoloring 2-3 years from now, and all of the metallic red fading to the point it doesn't match the body? yeah, thats more likely.
>>11657211I see what he means. We haven't had a comedy sound effect in the last five episodes
I'm usually not a buyfag for figures this expensive, but I loved this movie. Could some more experienced people tell me if they often go on sale? I can't see myself spending $300 on it but if I could get it for $150 or even $200 I think I'd cave
>>11655496Statueshit doesn't belong here
>>11655496Just give it a week, OP. You'll forget that you ever saw this film just like the other Avatar films.
>>11656058Don't bother with the statue and get the McFarlane fig of this lovely Goth Mommy
>>11656037Rule 2 states "no Japanese figurines."It doesn't say anything about western statues.

>>11657562A tankless one will be running the whole time you airbrush, with a tank the compressor wont need to do as much work
>>11657562A tank also means you'll never run into operating time problems. Without a tank the compressor has to work full time, so most models recommend you stop after 1h to cool down for 10-15mins. If you ignore that there's a thermal safety switch that will stop the compressor for you or you'll damage your compressor.There are tankless compressors that have indefinite operating time (Mr Liner Compressor etc.), but are as or more expensive than tank compressors and have much poorer maximum operating pressure.Other positives and negatives:+condensation is less of a problem-bulkier-extra work because you need to drain the tank to minimise rust
>>11657562As somebody whose compressor died and bought basically the same model with a tank, in my experience, in general it is superior but there is some trade off.Namely, the compressor will run up to the point the tank is full at the set PSI. If you aren't airbrushing for a long time, it's not going to be that much better than a tankless as long as you have a moisture trap. Additionally, breaking down the setup when done can take a bit longer as all the air in the tank needs to come out, and unless there's a quick release on the tank, the only point of exit that doesn't take forever is the connection between the hose and the airbrush.Also, make sure your airbrush hose connector is the same size as the compressor's mounting, otherwise you'll likely need to visit a home supply store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) for an adapter.
A tank also helps with a consistent airflow. Merry Christmas anons. Did anyone get any nice kits?
>>11657861No, but I will order some today. I have chosen a HH-65, an OH-1, two EC-135s, a US-1 and a C-2. I plan on entering five of these into a model show and maybe a second show. My goal is to not place last and to have fun, though I am afraid that the judges might not appreciate everything being in a small scale, seeing how everything at the last show was 1/72 or bigger. Also, can I enter a show without an IPMS membership?
>inb4 see you tomorrow Looking over the past year at the toys I’ve picked up and making my top 10 list, everything on it is objectively great engineering, articulation, paint, etc. But as I sit here looking at these figures, I feel nothing. Even picking them up and moving them around has about as much entertainment value as a fidget spinner after 30 seconds.I think it’s time for me to pack it in and sell everything, including my childhood toys. This isn’t a financial decision it’s a mental health one. Toys aren’t even an escape anymore they’re just another anxiety factor nowadays because you have to constantly be plugged in just to have a chance to give these corporations your money.I don’t know what I’m going to do to pass the time. I’ll probably start working out daily again and getting back in shape. But I’d just like to thank all of you except Jarret. Suck my dick you fucking faggot. I hope the rest of you have a very Merry Christmas. Goodbye.

>>11657507Don’t ever link anything that gay ever again dude.
>>11656611I wish you the best anon, however>and sell everything, including my childhood toysI would recommend keeping at least a few or one of your favorites around at the very least. That way you don't come back and go 'what have I done?!?' and start panic buying everything. You'll have something there to remind you and be like 'yeah that was a fun time in my life' and move on. Or take pics of your collection before selling it all.
